Cabin Time

Jeri and Scott invited our little family up to the cabin for the weekend of the 24th.  We were so excited since our 4-wheelers have barely been turned on this summer.  The kids couldn't wait to get to riding so we unloaded at the base of the canyon.  Randy followed us in the truck.  Sam's helmet is no joke!  I could barely see around it!

The beauty up there always takes my breath away.  The fact you can just see a moose around any turn is pretty awesome.  It is so peaceful and serene.  Jeri and Scott take such good care of us up there.  I feel like I don't have to lift a finger. 

When we woke up the next day, the kids were anxious to get on the wheelers!

Sam was cracking me up in that helmet.  I also loved that he kept turning around to check on me and Max.

Max really impressed me with his riding skills.  Last year I was a nervous wreck watching him ride.  This time, he was really cautious and did a great job.

I can't believe Hank's almost getting old enough to ride the big 4-wheelers.

What a good little rider.

We stopped for a little snack and blood sugar check at the top of our ride.

Such a cute picture of such dirty peeps!

Had to get one of Scotty!

I think the star of the trip was Hank's "dirt stash".  It's the best way to prove you're the 4-wheeling master.  Not everyone can achieve such a look!

The expression that comes with the dirt stash is perhaps the funniest part.  I finally got smart and put my bandanna around my face and became the 4 wheeling ninja.  We are quite the pair.

We'd get back from a long ride just to have Randy take the kids out again.  They couldn't get enough.

Look at that view! 

Spectacular

His little body and that gigantic helmet makes me giggle every time.  And yes, Randy was trying to open a locked gate in the background.  

My boys are pretty awesome.

After showers and fresh clothes we enjoyed a delicious dinner followed by s'mores.

These boys are pretty lucky to have her as their grandma.

A Reese's peanut butter cup is a great alternative in the s'more making process.

Sam sure loves his bro, especially when he will carry him like this.  Probably not the safest way to travel.

We had such a fantastic, relaxing, fun weekend.  It was just the vacation we needed.  It was probably one of my favorites of the summer.  Thank you so much to Jeri and Scott!
